Go4Life Guide for Older Patients

Go4Life Guide for Older Patients 

This 120-page guide from National Institute on Aging (NIH) describes the benefits of exercise and physical activity for older patients, and includes sample exercises for endurance, strength, balance, and flexibility as well as a list of resources. Go4Life was designed to help adults 50 and older incorporate more exercise and physical activity into their daily lives. On the Go4Life website, patients can watch exercise videos, submit their own exercise success stories, print educational tip sheets, and use the interactive tools in the MyGo4Life section to make an exercise plan and track their progress over time. There is also an audiobook version of this exercise guide to listen to directly on the page or to download to a computer. Download the guide here.
